One thought on “The Random House Book of Poetry for Children”

This Poetry Was Music to My Students' Ears (And Don't Be Turned Off by the Title!)A Review by Daniel L. BerekMost young children love poetry, especially for its musical qualities, rhythm, imagery. And with famed children's poet Jack Prelutsky as editor, add "fun, funny, witty, and wise." When I taught young children (K through grade 3), I used this book extensively, and my students kept asking for more, more, more poetry, please. Do not let the awful title of this book, "The Random House Book of [...]

“The Random House Book of Poetry for Children” is a compilation of 572 poems for children. Jack Prelutsky who wrote “Good Sport’s and “Scranimals” selected the poems. Many of the poems are done in rhyme which (I think) is more palatable to children. Form, the arrangement of words, is also noticeable in some poems. For example in the poem “My Mouth” by Arnold Adoff is written as follows:My Mouth stays shut but food just finds a way my tongue says we are full today but [...]

This is a wonderful collection of children's poetry. There's such a wide variety of poems, that every child is bound to find at least a few that they enjoy. It is an excellent way to introduce children to the various kinds of poetry all in one book. The illustrations are also cute and help kids to be able to further interpret the poems.

I think we use this poetry book for the first couple years of this curriculum & I don't want it in my Currently-Reading for that long so I'm reviewing after a month. There have been a couple poems that have been catchy for us and some that were not, but overall I like the variety and they are definitely age/skill appropriate for my 6 yr old.

The Random House Book of Poetry for Children is an enormously varied anthology of poems that would be good to read aloud to students, perhaps one or two poems per day, as my children's literature textbook recommends. Not only do they vary in time period (including poems from the 1800s by Edward Lear and poems from slightly later in time, such as "The Sidewalk Racer, OR On The Skateboard" by Lillian Morrison) and style (from the very rhythmic anapestic tetrameter of "The Flattered Flying Fish" (e [...]

I think this book is one of the best poetry books I have found because not only does it have hundreds of poems, but there are many different categories of poems. The Random House Book of Poetry ranges from body parts to many different animals. In the Random House Book of Poetry, I was able to read [...]

Random House Book of Poetry 5 out of 5 stars Prelutsky’s selections for the book were funny and enjoyable. All of the poems that I read throughout the book rhymed. Some of the poems were quite descriptive, and it was easy for the reader to imagine the text as a picture. I liked how some of the poems used descriptive words as sound, such as tinkle, whammed, crack, and whacked. The poems, to children, would be amusing if the reader read with enthusiasm and inflections in the voice. There was no [...]

The Random House Book of Poetry for Children by Jack Prelutsky is a very thick book of many different poems appealing to many different personalities.

The Random House Book of Poetry for ChildrenGrades K-4This is an incredible book that contains a wide variety of poems by a diversity of poets. Arnold Lobel’s illustrations lack color, often heavily penciled and shade, color used looks dull and flat. Lobel uses rounded soft lines in cartoon illustrations of everything from food, people, animals, places and mythological creatures such as dragons. Jack Prelutsky has put together a very impressive comprehensive anthology containing over 500 poems [...]

I read a poem called My mouth by Arnold Adoff. This poem tells of always being hungry. It is a silly poem where he has random symmetry for the lines of the poem and says "food come in."I also read "Girls can too" by Lee Bennet Hopkins. This is about a boy that brags about what boys can do. It is a fun poem about girl power and tells how the girl steals the boys baseball cards. I also read "Ground Hog Day" by Lilian Moore. This book explains ground hog day and would be an excellent book to teach [...]

This was a big book, so unfortunately I didn't get a chance to read all of the poems, but from what I read and all of the different sections, I found this book to be pretty enjoyable. It is set up in such a way that a group of poems fall under a category and then like poems are then lumped together either on the same page or on two pages that are next to each other. Also I really liked the illustrations done by Arnold Lobel, it doesn't say what the element of design is, but whatever he uses is d [...]

This book was really fun to read. I didn't get through all of the 572 poems but I would consider purchasing it for my future classroom. The poems have different themes and that's how they are grouped. Some of the poems are really easy to understand but I think that others would need further clarification for children, since some of the poems have older language. The poems are written by different authors, which I also liked because it exposes students to different types of poem structures. I lik [...]

Grades K - 4th gradeJack Prelutsky has put together a wonderful variety of poems for young children. The poems in the book range from 2 lines to more than 20. For the younger grades, the teacher should probably read the poems to the children. For the older grades, this book could be read independently. Most of the poems in the book rhyme and are about animals. There are some, however that do not rhyme, but they use lots of repetition. The poems tend to be silly and playful, which will appeal to [...]
